Funding push would put Reading Rainbow on phones and game consoles

LeVar Burton had no trouble crowdfunding Reading Rainbow for the web; now, he'd like your help bringing it to living rooms and pockets everywhere. His team has announced a $5 million stretch goal that, if reached, will port his literary initiative to mobile devices, game consoles and set-top boxes. Yes, that would return the program to TV (if not quite in the traditional sense) after an eight-year hiatus. The goal would also expand free student access to from 1,500 classrooms to 7,500. Burton already has over $3 million as we write this, but there's still some distance to go -- if you're interested in putting Reading Rainbow on your kid's Android tablet or Xbox, you'll want to make a pledge at the source link.
